He sighed. And glances at his trembling hand. Since he knows what's going to happen. Then the tears begin to fall down his face. He's tried so many times. It breaks his spirit. But he has to keep trying.

"I...I...have to keep trying."

"If I could give back the power...I would...but no matter what I do...it always chooses me...because I'm destined to have it. But at the same time...I need it."

He frowned.

He stares at his sword and raises it. 'You should kill the girl now...you know what she becomes.' "No...will of the crystal or not...I will not kill anymore...unless I have to."

'Silly boy...you talk like you have control...but you know what happens next.' "...Why...?"

"I'm tired of this...why do you choose me?" 'Because it is your destiny.'

"I always try so hard...but at the same time...I need you to protect them. Why can't we just agree?" 'You say that like it's possible. Given the state of this world."

He blinks and notices @HedgieMariaR in front of him.

He woke up next to @HedgieMariaR and looks around.

"Hmm..."

He was carefully sharpening his sabers.

He blinks.

He wonders what Rose Sprigs has for him.

"The fear of losing someone dear to me will scar my heart forever. My fear of losing Rose is bigger than my fear of war and my fear of death. It's my birthday...but honestly I don't feel like celebrating."

He taps Rose Sprigs. Offering a slice of his birthday cake. "You...must be hungry. Do you want to come with me?"

//Also I found more stuff I can use for Machina.

//And before you ask yes Rose did something for the tiger spirit's birthday in September. Barb | Tired, just tired

"Tomorrow is the day. Ugh....I really hate December..." He kinda clings onto a plushie of Rose Sprigs that he's had. Makes you wonder how and where he got that.

Gently yeets over his shoulder. He's holding onto her and kidnapping her.
